Georgia was quite tricky...after Tbilisi and Batumi I ran out of cities and I had really no clue why there are that many golf tournaments in the Caucasus... :-O
I *rarely* rate quizzes 5 stars – I feel like that should be saved for the really special, inventive ones – but you, JoshPen, definitely earned it with this one! (Bonus points for the cheeky explanation on how it is clearly a geography chain!) I look forward to your rolling out all the other letters of the alphabet ;-)
I didn't get it either but I thought it was a great question. Why should the non-permanent inhabitants not count? At any given time there are around a thousand people living there.
This really shouldn't be considered a Geography "chain" quiz when every answer is said to end in "A". You spoiled the fun of a true "chain" quiz in the title.
If anyone is interested, here is the original quiz I wrote before it was featured. https://www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/132683/original-a-geography-chain
To be fair, I only know UK cities by television exports. Doc Martin is in Port Isaac in Cornwall, Call the Midwife is in London, George Gently was in Newcastle, Shameless was Manchester, Last Tango in Halifax was in Halifax and Harrogate, Raised by Wolves was in Wolverhampton, etc. The BBC and ITV have taught me UK geography and regional accents.
I don't understand how that golf question can be at 37%, but maybe change it to something like "Atacama" for people who care more about geography than golf?
Well it is arguably the most popular golf tournament in the world (one of the 4 majors and considered by many to be the best of the 4.) Just because you don't know it doesn't mean others don't. It's OK to learn new things.
Istanbul is on the Bosphorus Strait, which connects the Marmara and Black Seas. The Marmara sea connects the Mediterranean to the Bosphorus Strait. Apparently, the Mediterranean does not conquer the Marmara Sea. So, Istanbul does not border the Mediterranean
It was changed back to Astana in 2022. Do try to keep up.
"In September 2022, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed a constitutional amendment to revert to the name Astana. As of 2022, it holds the Guinness World Record for the capital city with the most name changes in modern times."
